Quiet Thursday, wintry mix Friday

Quiet weather Thursday with mostly cloudy skies and highs near 40°. This is all ahead of a storm that will bring rain, sleet, and snow across our area Friday. Precipitation will move in from the southwest around 3-6 a.m. Friday morning. Right from the start we'll mainly see rain by the Lake Michigan as temperatures will be above freezing, while inland areas can expect snow. Precipitation will become steady through the morning, bringing a wintry mix all the way to the lakefront and a heavy, wet snow inland. Precipitation becomes lighter in the afternoon, with snow continuing inland, a wintry mix by the lakefront and the state light. Precipitation will end by 3-5 p.m.
